did someone say Luke 111 Teaser?

[Smellybum]

hehe - nothing wrong with paint for me BP - natural finish is the poor mans' KOA!

 

[straycat113]

Big Poppa since it seems that everyone really liked the natural look even though we all jumped the gun, maybe it could of given you and the crew in the shop an idea to make a natural finish one option, by the way while we are talking finishes I think a few BFR AL HH's in Pinkburst like the originals would be great lol.

I'd be tempted to stick a big shiny "L3" sticker on the lower corner....

hmmmmmmm the funny thing is as I said earlier we always post pics of natural protos...for some reason you guys are fixating on this one

More Than Woods

Only thing that interests me is the sound and I expect a different feel due to the string tension difference of the reversed headstock.
Let´s wait for the finished product and thanks for the insight.

I think I read somewhere that Luke was interested in a 2H configuration for "Heavier" style of music, but I can't remember in which magazine...
Anyway thanks BP for that teaser, awesome guitar to come!

Don't you dare paint any of those black, you scallywag...

Really looking forward to the development of these as BP and Luke have said it is very much still a work in progress but so far it looks great Luke said he is doing some other major stuff to make it look different, pickups etc.

here we go with me explaining that where 8 forumites like something that it is cayenne pepper. I promise you that these would not sell enough to justify based on the response here

If people love natural wood then paintstripper and oil varnish is easy to do.... did that once and loved the results but prefer paint on my guitars!

How about a technical question on the reverse headstock? I thought I read somewhere that the traditional 4/2 was better for tuning stability - as the G string is typically an issue on standard 3/3 guitars. Is this true? Would reversing the headstock be purely an aesthetics thing, or would there be technical implications?

Thanks for the first look Pops. A double bucker would be awesome. Anywho...I will sit back and enjoy the ride. Thanks again.

Totally understood. thanks for sharing sir. Great looking prototypes. I'd still love to grab one of them off your hands to put on my wall and cherish it.

You ARE the man!

 

[Andy G]

Looking great. Thanks for the pics. Awesome as ever.

With all these rosewood necks, I'm starting to crave for a JP w/BFR RW neck..

 

[ShaneV]

Lookin' good. I think the reverse headstock is really cool.

 

[straycat113]

I understand where you are coming from BP but the responce to the unfinished look was very popular before everyone knew they were all protos. Maybe having one finish option being unfinished may be something to think about, just let it marinate in your head for a while lmfao.

 

[littlephil]

^Or maybe another limited edition model, just a clear gloss
We can hope

 

[Big Poppa]

or maybe not.

 

[applemacintosh]

Is it a realistic / plausible idea to finish the body's the same way the necks are done? The necks feels sublime... Couldn't the bodies too?
